3 Pink Ways To Celebrate National Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Few colors pack a wallop like pink. The official shade for breast cancer, the hopeful hue evokes strength and encourages us to lend a helping hand, whether we walk, donate, or volunteer. A folded pink ribbon reminds us life is sacrosanct, and fleeting. Here, we’ve rounded up what to see, do, and drink during the last rosy days of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Get A 3-D Mammogram

Congress Avenue, Lake WorthWhen: Through October 31, 2017$$$: $85, 3-D mammogram; $65, non-3-D mammograms (for non-insured patients only)411: In 1913, German doctor Albert Salomon discovered radiography, the science of taking x-rays. Since then, his discovery has led to myriad advancements in cancer screening, like 2-D and 3-D mammograms which have reduced breast cancer’s mortality rate exponentially. While both expose malignant activity, a 3-D mammogram allows doctors to see the individual layers of the breast and spot calcifications and masses more easily.

Mammograms aren’t ticklish so Diagnostics of MSPB have turned them into a more tranquil experience. Inside their Mammography Suite, a Siemens Prime 3-D mammography machine, one of only two in Palm Beach County, changes color every 30 seconds. Mood lighting also projects complementing tones, like light blue and hot pink. The artwork even changes color. Did you feel that pinch? We didn’t either.

Make Breast Cancer Strides, Martini-Style

But what about a woman’s heart? If you’re conjuring a martini, we’re fine with that. One that’s tickling our heartstrings is the Pink Flamingo Martini they’re shaking up at The Office in Delray Beach and Vic & Angelo’s in Delray Beach and Palm Beach Gardens. Restaurateur John Rosatti is dedicating the elegant drink to women’s health. For each one shaken, the restaurants will donate 50-percent to The American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk of South Palm Beach.
